It's almost June but the narrative of the 2009/2010 governors races is still largely incomplete.
Although there are 37 governorships up between now and next November, there are several major storylines yet to play out, developments that will be critical to which party is better positioned to make gains at the state level in 2010.

President Barack Obama will spend most of the next week traveling abroad -- stops in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Germany are all on the schedule -- but his Administration is making sure voters know they are keeping their eye on the economic ball by dispatching a series of senior officials across the country to continue the salesmanship of the stimulus plan.

Twenty four hours after his semi-announcement that he would take on Sen. Arlen Specter in next year's Democratic primary, Rep. Joe Sestak laid out his strategy for toppling the incumbent in a conversation with the Fix today.

Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak plans to run against Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter in 2010, according to a source close to the Congressman, but those familiar with his thinking caution no announcement is imminent and that he could well change his mind on the race.

President Barack Obama's trip to Las Vegas today to raise money for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (Nev.) re-election race in 2010 -- the first such event the president has done for a single candidate -- raises questions about just how deeply he and his political team will wade into the coming midterm elections in an effort to boost Democratic Congressional majorities.

Thursday's dueling speeches on national security by President Barack Obama and former vice president Dick Cheney illustrated two sharply contrasting views on how the nation should respond to national security threats in the coming years.
